FAQs
What are the most common early warning signs my Grandview roof needs an inspection?
Look for curling or missing shingles, dark streaks or moss growth, granules collecting in gutters, sagging rooflines, interior water stains, and higher-than-normal energy bills. These issues often appear before a major leak and signal it’s time for a professional inspection.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Grandview’s climate?
Because Grandview experiences seasonal hail, high winds, and heavy rain, we recommend a professional inspection twice a year—once in the spring after winter weather and again in the fall before storm season. You should also schedule an inspection after any severe weather event.
Why is addressing small roofing issues early so important?
Minor problems like a few loose shingles or a small leak quickly escalate into costly structural damage, mold growth, and ruined insulation. Early repairs can extend your roof’s lifespan by 5–10 years and save up to 30% on eventual replacement costs.
What does a comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors examine shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, chimneys, attic ventilation, and insulation. We look for moisture intrusion, nail pops, weakened decking, and signs of hail or wind damage. You’ll receive a detailed photo report, condition rating, and repair recommendations.
Will a roof inspection affect my homeowner’s insurance or warranty?
A documented inspection can actually help you. Insurers often require proof of maintenance before approving storm-damage claims, and manufacturers may void shingle warranties if the roof isn’t inspected regularly. Our reports satisfy both insurance and warranty documentation requirements.
How much does a professional roof inspection cost in Grandview and can I get an estimate?
Standard inspections range from $150–$300, depending on roof size and complexity. We offer free, no-obligation estimates upfront, and the inspection fee is credited toward any repair work you authorize within 60 days.
